question about exercise...

[jessi_girl]

hi!

I just would like to ask if you guys take a bath after an exercise?

Would it be safe to do so? I heard that it's not good to take a bath after an exhausting exercise...

thanks a lot!

GOD bless you!

I guess it would depend. If you're taking a hot bath it could help to loosen your muscles so that stretching afterward would be easier. Then again, if your body temperature is already elevated, taking a hot bath could make it go up even more and give you some problems. Ultimately, I'm no medical expert.

I wish I could to aid recovery, but it's not practical for me. Best would be a short cold bath followed by a warm bath - to simulate cirulation and thus recovery.

After i work out and am really sweaty I usually cool off then after i feel cooled, i take a bath.. I don't see how a warm bath after an intense work out would give you any problems.

I don't know about it being unsafe but I know it's really uncomfortable to me to have a bath after a workout. I take time to cool down and then have a warm shower.
